📌 If you have lost your job or are unable to work, you may be eligible for a benefit from Work and Income.
Work and Income also provide financial assistance for people in work or not on a benefit who are struggling to cover basic costs. Work and Income may help with costs such as dental treatment, power bills, food, school costs, bond for your landlord etc.
If you have children, you can check you are getting your correct entitlement through Inland Revenue (IRD) - such as FamilyBoost or Working for Families.
If you have health or disability costs, you may qualify for assistance from Work and Income to help cover these costs e.g. through a Community Services card, Pharmaceutical Subsidy card, Total Mobility Card etc.
Other costs you may be able to get help with (whether that's through Work and Income, Inland Revenue, your service provider, or another source) include accommodation costs, funeral costs, student loan repayments, and credit contracts debt.

After reading Flip Grater's opinion piece, Playing germ roulette with our kids’ health, we felt a collective sense of relief - another parent shares our niggling worries.
We wanted to check in with our online neighbours: do you feel the same way? We are all busy, and keeping children home from school is sometimes impossible given other responsibilities. Busy lives and the apparent loss of collective energy around monitoring cold symptoms have led to more students and staff in shared spaces with sniffles and coughs.
But what do you think? Is this a concern?
We want to know: Are there clear Guidelines on when to keep kids off of school?
Should we be having a nuanced conversation about risk management, and how to better support working families?

The pukupuku is the smallest and one of the most vulnerable kiwi species. Only around 2000 birds remain on offshore islands and predator-free sanctuaries, and are the descendants of just 5 birds which had been translocated to Kapiti Island from South Westland in 1912.
The March discovery in the remote Adams Wilderness Area, on the West Coast, is definitely choice news.
Ka pai to the amazing investigation team: DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham and his conservation dog, Brew!
We hope this news brings a smile!
